Valentines Day???? Not in my house!!!

Liverpool play Arsenal and it's live on the telly. No chance of me having a smoochy night.

Oh well at least it will save me some money!!!! :T

THE PICKLE PUCKER JAR

Last year at valentine's, I got a big glass pickle jar from a restaurant, scrubbed it clean, and painted the jar with flowers, hearts, sunshine, clouds, etc.
Then I got a bunch of "fancy" doodle pads and began writing reasons & reminders of how & why I love my husband. It didn't stop there-- I began collecting little poems, quotes, and song lyrics to add to the pot.

When my husband is having a rough day he can open the lid and reach in for a "boost". This jar was easy to make and VERY personal, and he enjoys it year around. I love to collect stuff for the jar as well!


Perhaps you may be able to pick up one of those jars with the flip up glass lids and rubber seals, do the same thing. You could pick up window paints quite cheaply some place.

Cheapest seems to be Swotbooks at £5.09 including delivery for a glass painting kit.

:T This is a beautiful idea, I'll definitely be using this one. We didn't buy each other presents at xmas cos we'd just bought a new bed and my bloke gave me a card promising me a full day of pampering as and when I wanted it. I haven't used it yet but I think I'll be taking advantage soon

Tesco have brilliant Valentine mugs for only 97p and Marks and Spencer have some really nice ties with tasteful tiny red hearts (or some with big hearts!) for £8.Great for my husband as he doesn't like choccies or flowers!

I bought 2 sheets of nice sparkely paper 40p each at the market, folded 1 in half, hole punched with heart shaped holes all around the edge (1 small blister), stuck other colour card inside to show through heart shaped holes, found some nice poems and quotes on the net, printed off and prit-sticked in. I then found a pack of 10 paded, sticky hearts at ASDA 79p used 1 on the front and wrote a nice love message in to my love.

Total cost = 88p
Total effort = Loads
Total blisters = 1 small
Amount he better appreciate it = would die for me!

I really like the Cushtie Heart cushion and know the missus will love it but does anyone know if it's available to buy in-store, particularly in the West London area?
